Choosing thickness for commercial pavers
The published Atlas pattern guide lists 60 mm and 80 mm thicknesses. The other five pattern references list 60 mm. These references do not establish availability for every color or approval for a particular load. Confirm the specified combination with Universal and have the project designer or engineer review its suitability.
The paver is only one part of the pavement. The base, bedding, edge restraint and installation all have to suit the loads and site conditions the space will see. The installer or designer should confirm that the selected product and complete pavement construction suit the planned loads and site conditions. Send us the specified thickness, pattern and color, and we'll confirm what we can supply.
Colors and patterns for commercial spaces
11 colors in two cement families
Gray cement colors: Burnt Amber, Charcoal, Crimson Tide, Coffee Brown, Scarlet and Smoke. White cement colors: Ice Gray, Oasis, Sand Stone, Siesta and Sunset Blend. Darker blends can outline a plaza or mark an entrance, while lighter ones keep a large open area feeling bright. Browse every color on our concrete pavers page.

Coping and edges
Our concrete bullnose coping is 4 x 9 x 2 3/8 in. For amenity pool decks, we also supply travertine, marble and Shell Stone coping.
Natural stone for amenity areas
For pool decks, courtyards and other amenity spaces, we supply travertine (tumbled), marble (leathered) and Shell Stone (tumbled limestone). These are natural stones we supply rather than manufacture.
Where commercial pavers are used
Universal supplies hardscape materials for commercial walkways, plazas, entrances and common areas. On the ground, that means spaces like:
- arrival courtyards and building entrances
- plazas and shared terraces
- walkways that connect parking, buildings and amenities
- common areas and amenity spaces in residential communities
From an arrival courtyard to a shared terrace, the paving can give a public space clarity, rhythm and identity. We can help with material sourcing and product information, while your project team confirms specifications, site requirements and installation plans. See more ideas in where concrete pavers can be used, or browse all applications.
Building walls as well as paving? Our concrete block range includes six CMU profiles, Type S mortar and masonry sand. Structural masonry is a separate selection from paving: use the exact unit drawings and project requirements. Read about commercial masonry.
For specifiers and project teams
Before a paver goes into a spec, project teams usually want three things: a sample, the product documents and a quantity they can trust. Here's how to get each from us.
Samples
Request a sample to judge color, texture and edge detail in the light where the pavers will go. Our team confirms the sample options for your selection. Call (813) 884-0010 or contact us.
Product documents
Our resources page has the official catalog plus pattern and packing references. Ask our team which additional product documents are available for your selection before preparing a submittal.
Quantities
Coverage per cube depends on the selected pattern and thickness. Use the published pattern and packing information and confirm current packing with Universal before ordering. Use our paver and pallet guide for a first estimate, then confirm the cut and waste allowance with your installer.
Warranty and returns
Review the product warranty for its one-year period, coverage, exclusions and claim instructions. For eligible returns requested within 30 days of delivery, review the separate return policy. Confirm how the terms apply to your selected item.
Ordering, delivery & pickup
For a commercial project quote, send:
- product, color, pattern and thickness
- square footage
- jobsite address
- schedule and any phasing

We supply. Your contractor installs.
Universal Hardscapes manufactures and supplies pavers; we don't install them. Project owners and property managers can ask us for referrals to independent contractors. Contractors can apply for a trade account to order pavers, coping and block direct.
Commercial pavers FAQ
What thickness are commercial pavers?
The Atlas pattern guide lists 60 mm and 80 mm. Other published pattern references list 60 mm. Confirm the required color, pattern and thickness with Universal. Thickness alone is not a load rating: the project designer or engineer confirms the complete pavement system for planned loading, base construction and drainage.
Are you a manufacturer or a distributor?
Universal Hardscapes manufactures its concrete pavers in Tampa and sells them direct, with no middleman. Our travertine, marble and Shell Stone are natural stones that we supply.
Can I get samples and product documents for a submittal?
Samples can be requested, and our team confirms the options for your selection. The catalog and pattern and packing references are on our resources page. Contact us to check which other documents are available for a submittal.
How do I get pricing for a commercial project?
Call (813) 884-0010 or email orders@universalhardscapes.com with the product, quantities and jobsite address. We don't publish prices online; we quote each project.
Do you install commercial pavers?
No. Universal Hardscapes supplies the materials. We can refer independent contractors, and we sell to contractors directly through trade accounts.
